New Intermediate-Range Missiles in Germany - Developments and Problems — •Jürgen Altmann — Experimentelle Physik III, TU Dortmund

In 2024 the USA and Germany have announced that the US will deploy conventionally armed ballistic and cruise missiles in Germany from 2026, including hypersonic ones. With ranges from 500 to 3,000 km they will threaten tactical and strategic targets deep in Russia. Russia has many similar systems threatening targets in Western Europe with nuclear or conventional warheads. However, in a wider view a US/NATO "deterrence gap" does not exist. New land-based missiles with short flight times can increase Russian fears about preparations for a surprise attack, decreasing crisis stability and creating motives for an accelerated arms race. The talk will discuss technical, military, stability and arms-control aspects
